Chapter 731: Chapter 487: Deployment Completed and a Minor Interlude_2

“…I have a question for you, the one from the Otherworld.”

On the other side, Ariel Watson went up to Leo Ray alone, hesitated for a moment, and spoke softly to him.

“Oh? Please ask away.”

Upon hearing her, Leo Ray turned around and responded to Ariel.

At this moment, under the last rays of the setting sun…

Ariel’s fair and delicate face and slender figure were both enveloped in a faint golden halo, creating an involuntary sense of holiness.

“Well…”

After fidgeting for a while, Ariel blinked her long eyelashes, took a deep breath, and then asked, “Why are you helping me so much?”

At this moment, Ariel’s expression became more eager as she continued, “After all, you don’t have to get involved in the war between My Coldflame and Saint Night.”

“Princess, you misunderstand.”

Leo Ray smiled slightly and said frankly, “Helping you is actually helping myself, so you don’t need to feel burdened.”

“What do you mean by that?”

At this, Ariel blinked her starry eyes in confusion and hurriedly asked further.

“What this world is about to face is far beyond your imagination.”

Without directly answering Ariel’s question, Leo Ray stared into the distance and said to himself, “Everything I do is to solve, or attempt to solve, what is about to happen.”

After saying this, Leo Ray’s expression became more serious, and then continued, “This may be the real reason why we Otherworldly Lords are here.”

It is needless to say that what Leo Ray was referring to was the imminent Unknown Great Catastrophe.

Most importantly, according to King West, the Great Catastrophe was just the beginning.

As for what unimaginable things would happen later, at this stage, Leo Ray naturally had no idea.

However, on the other hand, even the contents of the Great Catastrophe itself were still unknown to them at present.

As a result, all they could do now was to develop at all costs, continuously accumulate strength, to cope with the terrible catastrophe that would sweep the entire world, as mentioned in the prophecy.

“What exactly are you trying to say? What is this world about to face?”

Hearing this, Ariel’s confusion and incomprehension deepened on her face. Clutching her clothes tightly, she asked two questions one after another.

“When the time is right, I will naturally tell you everything I know.”

Signaling Ariel not to worry, Leo Ray withdrew his distant gaze and still smiled, “By the way, didn’t you also want to know what your Hero King ancestor said to me back then in the Dragon’s Lair Ancestral Sleeping Grounds?”

With a raised eyebrow toward Ariel, Leo Ray continued leisurely, “At that time, perhaps I will also describe it to you.”

“Are you telling the truth?”

Ariel’s eyes brightened, and she asked again.

“Of course.”

With an undeniable nod, Leo Ray looked directly into Ariel’s starry eyes and said indifferently, “So, for now, focus all your attention on the upcoming Fortress Defense Battle.”

“Then I will listen to you this time!”

On the other side, Ariel nodded heavily and then said, “You must not go back on your word then!”

“That depends on the performance of our dear Fifth Princess.”

At this point, seeing that the sky had completely darkened, Leo Ray smiled slightly and then left the castle balcony on his own.

Next, as Lord White, Burt, and Joshua were already tirelessly getting familiar with the various situations in the fortress in order to take over the upcoming command, they rested in a luxurious meeting room.

Before this, Lord White had initially intended to instruct the castle servants to prepare a feast.

After all, both the supremely powerful and mysterious Leo Ray and royal Ariel were not figures who could be neglected casually.However, with the upcoming battle, the hands of everyone in the fortress were indispensable, so both Leo Ray and Ariel Watson rejected the idea.

That being said, every morning, Rudy would especially prepare the meals for Leo Ray and the strong players on their side to take with them, storing them in their storage spaces.

As a result, the other strong players monitoring the situation outside didn’t have to worry about their meals.

As for Lord White, Burt, and Joshua, they would eat together with the other soldiers in the military camp below.

In the meeting room, when the three of Leo Ray took out exquisitely plated, still very fresh, star-quality meal boxes from their Space Bracelets or Storage Rings and opened them, they immediately attracted the attention of Ariel Watson, who was holding a large piece of cream cake by her side.

At the same time, a mouth-watering, dreamy aroma of sauce spread throughout the room.

Included in the meal were not only fresh vegetable salads, sandwiches, and egg rolls, but also a variety of exquisite pastries that looked like works of art.

In comparison, the cream cake in front of Ariel Watson immediately seemed a lot duller.

At this moment, looking at the subtle expression of desire but pretended not to see on Ariel Watson’s fair face, Leo Ray slightly curled his lips and took another spare meal from his Space Bracelet and placed it on the side.

Winning over the stomach of this proud Princess Cold Flame was naturally an indispensable part of the process of submission.

“You… What do you mean?”

At this point, Ariel Watson could no longer hold back and asked tentatively.

“Nothing, I just took an extra portion.” Leo Ray said with a faint smile, “Why, does Her Highness the Fifth Princess want to eat it?”

“I don’t want it.”

Cutting a piece of the cake with a fork and knife elegantly, Ariel Watson spoke insincerely.

“In that case, I’ll just save it as a late-night snack.”

With that said, Leo Ray was about to put the extra meal back into his Space Bracelet without saying anything else.

“Wait a minute!”

Ariel Watson hurriedly waved her hand, then raised her neck with an air of pretense, and said, “If you sincerely want to offer it to me as your princess…”

“Dear Fifth Princess, you think too much. I never thought that way.”

On the other side, Leo Ray sped up his hand motion to put away the meal.

“Wait again! Can’t I exchange my cake for your meal?”

This time, Ariel Watson’s face grew more anxious and asked, “Can I?”

The dishes in front of her reminded her of the long-lost taste of the royal chef, even better than that.

“Why didn’t you say that earlier?”

Looking at the proud princess beside him with her eyes full of longing, Leo Ray stopped his hand movement, raised an eyebrow, and said, “Come and get it yourself, as for the cake, just save it for yourself, princess. I’m afraid of getting fat.”

“You despicable fellow…”

Upon hearing this, although Ariel Watson wanted to refuted with annoyance, she still didn’t say anything else since she was indebited to Leo Ray and began to enjoy the food elegantly on her own.

After all of them finished their meal, it didn’t take long for Lord White and the other two kingdom generals to appear in front of Leo Ray and the others.

“Reporting to Your Highness the Princess, the Commander Stage has been prepared, and all soldiers in the fortress have gathered.”

With the crisp sound of armor collision, Lord White stepped forward and bowed slightly to Ariel Watson, “It’s time for Your Highness the Princess to come forward and inspire the soldiers.”

“No problem, I am already prepared.”

On the other side, Ariel Watson nodded heavily and replied, “Let’s go now.”

And so, under the guidance of Lord White and followed by Leo Ray, who was accompanied by Taylor and Red Night, they quickly arrived at a large drill ground in the center of the fortress.

At this time, under the deep and beautiful moonlight, Leo Ray noticed.

The vast drill ground, filled with yellow magic lamp globes, was already full of neatly arranged red-armored soldiers, so dense that they could hardly see the end.

On the other hand, Ariel Watson, with the accompaniment of the three kingdom generals, proceeded straight to the tall and towering Commander Stage in the front.
